Buttery Steak Bites

Ingredients:

• 3 Diamond R Steaks, cut into large bite sized cubes
• Potatoes, peeled. I prefer Yukon Gold or red new potatoes cut into large bite sized cubes. You will need twice as many potato cubes as you have steak cubes.
• 1 red or yellow onion, diced
• 2T fresh garlic, minced or crushed
• 1 stick of butter
• 2T olive oil
• Fresh thyme
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  

Directions:

1. You may peel the potatoes or leave the skins on. Get a pot of water boiling. After it heats up, place the potatoes into the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes. They will not be completely cooked, they will finish in the steak bites. Drain and set aside.
2. Melt ½ stick of butter and 1T of good olive oil over medium heat in a cast iron skillet. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
3. Add the potatoes and brown on all sides. I usually turn them individually with a set of tongs to keep them browning.
4. Next add the remaining butter and olive oil, increase the heat to medium/high. Add the steak bites and the garlic. Keep turning frequently.
5. As they begin to brown, add 4 or 5 sprigs of thyme leaves. Cook the steak until your desired doneness.
6. Salt and pepper to taste.
7. Lastly, add some fresh chopped flat leaf parsley and serve.
